    Upgraded from dual 6128 > 6272 -- WEIRD PROBLEMS!

    Dude, you are AWESOME! That's EXACTLY what it was. I have non-ECC ram. VERY VERY strange since I updated the bios a while back and had things working with the 6128 chips under that same bios forever. Why it worked with the 6128 chips and not the 6272 is beyond me. But I don't care...

    Upgraded from dual 6128 > 6272 -- WEIRD PROBLEMS!

    Well, maybe it's not Windows. Something else is going on. I cannot load my Linux Ubuntu or Windows XP. Same thing happens right around the same time for both. In Ubuntu I got an error message that displayed, but it wasn't on the screen long enough to write it down. They all seem to be...

    Upgraded from dual 6128 > 6272 -- WEIRD PROBLEMS!

    Hopefully you guys can give me some pointers. I just swapped out two Opteron 6128s from a Windows 7 (with SP1) system that was running fine. I replaced them with two 6272s. The Asus MB POSTed just fine. I got my Windows splash page, but as soon as it is about to load the desktop, the...

    Build my Dual Xeon X5690 Workstation

    You mean like the new E5's that are coming out from Intel? Maybe a Xeon E5-2665 with an SR-3? I don't mind waiting a month, but I don't want to wait too long for this to come out. I need a rig now.

    Build my Dual Xeon X5690 Workstation

    WHAT IS THE BEST BUILD FOR OUR NEEDS? I currently am building an AMD Opteron 32-core render machine (64GB Ram) for 24/7 renders. But I need to add a lighting fast workstation to the mix. The programs we use are Cinema 4D (heavy 3D), After Effects (render-heavy effects), Premiere (multicam...

    Build My Render Machine (HD Video, 3D)

    Could it handle a couple of these? http://www.amazon.com/AMD-Opteron-Magny-Cours-Processor-OS6172WKTCEGOWOF/dp/B003BYRHLM/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1327555572&sr=1-1 Is there a benefit to throwing a lot of cores at these Adobe and Maxon programs? I heard they aren't much good after...

    Build My Render Machine (HD Video, 3D)

    Wow, that sounds awesome. And at a very good price too. Thank you! A couple questions, with 16 cores, I assume that I would be able to run several programs and render them all at the same time, right? (Like After Effects and Cinema 4D and Premiere altogether)? The most cores I've ever had...

    Build My Render Machine (HD Video, 3D)

    I need to add another computer to our render farm for HD video editing, render-heavy After Effects and C4D renders. I don't care if it's ugly and un-Mac like. No LED lights or anything like that needed. No bells or whistles. I don't need a pimped ride, just a pimped out inside. I've got the...
